Since Alpha Phi is already above the 75 total, how would it help them by keeping total the same?
The other groups can pledge up to total. If APhi is above the 75 total, they would be fine where they are and would not be able to bring in any more pledges until the next FR period. It would only be a problem if the total would be raised to higher than they already are, then they would be able to continue growing.
By putting a lower cap on the other sororites at 60, they would be limiting themselves--they would never be able to reach the 75 that APhi has. APhi would be able to remain the largest group because they would get quota at FR and keep building.
Did I read this right? It seems that by lowering total, the system could suffer by not having an incentive for chapters to bring in new girls to reach (a higher) total. I know nationals always encouraged my collegiate chapter to COR if we had the chance, even for only 1 or 2 girls, to take advantage of every slot available.
